There are only four weeks left in the NFL season. The playoff races are intensifying around the league.

The New York Jets will beat the Detroit Lions at home in the early NFL Week 15 game. Seattle Seahawks lost to the Carolina Panthers in Week 14, but they have a bounce-back game against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday. Baltimore Ravens will cover on the road against Cleveland Browns.

The Jets defence held the Buffalo Bills to 232 yards of offence in Week 14. Detroit is averaging 32.2 points per game over its last five games. Jared Goff is an indoor quarterback, whereas he's an outdoor player. The Lions are 2-1 outdoors this season. New York is 3-0 in its home games and Detroit's last home defeat was 29- 0.

Seahawks are just outside of a playoff spot in the NFC. The Seahawks had won four consecutive games and 15 of the last 17 before San Francisco's win earlier this season. Brock Purdy is injured and the game is on a short week.

Ravens are favored by 3 points over Texans. Deshaun Watson has struggled since returning to the NFL. The Ravens rank 10th in stopping the pass and 7th against the run.
